  I made a rabbit stroller for under $15

  

  Have you ever wondered how to make a rabbit stroller for your houserabbits, so you can take them places?  I wanted a rabbit stroller because my bunnies sometimes need to travel with me, such as when I took them to the vets today.  I originally wanted this rabbit stroller so I could include my rabbits […]

  If you can’t take the bunny to the garden… WPC: Admiration

  

  This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge was Admiration.  I’ve explained why this fits the bill underneath. This week you had to show something or someone you admired. I was totally going to do this the day after my last post but I had a bit of trouble with this one because I tend to either admire […]

  How to Handle Your Rabbit

  I got this infographic about how to pick up and hold a rabbit, in an email from Pets At Home, and while I know how to look after my bunnies, I thought it might be useful for anyone with a rabbit (or considering getting a rabbit) just to see one of the ideal ways to […]

  Happy New Year: Greenland Style

  So we missed British New Year as we were syringe-feeding liquid hay into a sick rabbit who subsequently exploded foul smelling diarrhea all over me. I did earlier this evening’s post about how ill Banacek bunny is. Dear Chocolate, it just never ends. My dressing gown is in the washing machine now along with Banacek’s […]

  Katie is at the Vets

  Katie is at the vets under general anaesthetic right now. Her left back leg started causing her pain on Sunday. I took her in yesterday, they said it might be a broken knee and there’s no reflex movement in the foot; she needed an X-ray and she’ll be in all day today because they do […]

  Meet Our Rabbits

  So I thought after all these months, it might be nice to actually introduce our rabbits to you.  I know I put lots of pictures of them up and obviously do all the rabbit care articles as well, so let’s go through them, in order of when we got them: Banacek (2012-present): Banacek is a […]

  Should you get a bunny for Easter?

  So there’s obviously a lot of topical debate at the moment about whether anyone should get a rabbit at all over Easter. I wrote a cautionary tale about impulse buying a rabbit and believing that a child has the maturity to care for one over a long period of time. I’ve also written about getting […]

  The Easter Bunny

  Trigger Warning: This story may trigger feelings that you need to help animals in some way, shape or form. My earliest memories are of my mother, my brothers and sisters. We had shared a womb. So comfortable and soft, I felt perfectly safe and happy with them. Sometimes we would push each other out of […]

  How to clean a bunny water bottle

  We’ve said a few times that our rabbits prefer to drink from bowls, and we usually have about 2 bowls per pair so that if they stand in one or it gets knocked over, they always have something to drink. We also give the outdoor bunnies bottles, attached to their runs, in case they need […]

  [rabbits] Looking after a sick bunny

  Looking after a sick bunny. Last weekend, we tried to introduce Sebastian and Fifer to each other. They were doing ok – they were in an enclosed space of neutral territory, and I was in with them while my husband manned the exits, so we could stop them at the first signs of a scuffle. […]
